Audacity is software that allows for the creation of various audio files including MP3. This is software is complex enough that is allows users to be very creative but it is also user-friendly enough that even a basic user can use it to record mp3 files.
The program can be downloaded from this site.
In order to create mp3 files Audacity needs a special file. This file needs to place somewhere on your computer and then the Audacity program will need to be pointed to where it is. Begin by making sure that Audacity is installed on your computer. Then download this file lame_enc.dll and save it in this location C:\Program Files\Audacity 1.3 Beta (you can actually choose anywhere on your computer...this is only the location I chose). The next step is to record something in Audacity and choose File/Export as MP3. The software will ask where this file is and allow you to point to it with an Open dialog box. You will only need to find this file the first time you export an mp3.
